I cut

---

ok.....as by my title it is self explanatory. and i need help. im too afraid to tell my parents. i told my friends cuz i know they'll help me without telling an adult. but i juss wanted to know if any 1 could help me...?

I don't really understand it, but there are many people here who understand it very well.Perhaps this is a stupid question, but would using "Icy Hot" on a sensitive place be an alternative? At least it would cause less damage.

shut up...im a kid/teen im spose to learn bout not using icy hot

Hey Bane, feel free to PM me as I know quite alot about the area. (I've been there too.)

hey yo you can pm me too i been there and sadly i'm still there but i like to try to help other that cut so pm me

Can you tell us roughly why you harm? you don't have to give too much away, but if we know what is making you do it, maybe we can help a little more.

Well it seems I was right, I did make a stupid question. :smile:

well the reason i do it is cuz of my emediate family and some of my friends...

Would you like to tell us more about it?

well i dont know how to describe it....its juss that, right now, im very emotional, cuz of a girl at my school, and when my imediate family and friends yell at me or get me upset, i juss do it...and my best friends...well they cut too, the same reason i do it.....but i also do it cuz im depressed.

Was it your friends that got you started in the idea of harming?Sorry for the questions, but I do myself, just intrigued on how others start.

i will say the same thing. help please? im afraid that it might also go further. sometimes i just get in the most fucked moods... i do anything.

reply to diverwell my friends didnt get me into cutting, i actually think i was the 1st person in my group of friends to cut, but wierd thing is that it doesnt seem ike im the kind of person to cut.but i actually got the idea from a tv show that was actually trying to send a message to people to stop cutting

To be honest, if it isn't fucking obvious to your friends and family that you cut, then cutting is not your problem. Your problem is that people don't pay enough attention to you because your personality isn't up to much. If it's just the attention you need then do something worthwhile so people will respect you and stop scoring your arms with sharpened rulers.

hey gandylion.....FUCK YOU. ITS NOT MY FUCKING PERSONALITY, IN MY OPINION I GET ALL THE ATTENTION I WANT OR NEED! AND WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MY PERSONALITY, I HAVE A FUCKIN GREAT PERSONALITY!!!! (except right now-but i thinks this is funny, but im pissed)AND MY FRIENDS ALREADY KNOW I CUT!!!! IF YOU CAN FUCKING READ IT SAYS MY FRIENDS ALREADY KNOW!!!so i would think IT WOULD BE FUCKIN OBVIOUS TO THEM!!! haha wtf do u know?, i dont cut with rulers - i use safety pins ( - so much for safety)

Hey I got a completely crazy idea. Stop me if it's too crazy. But why don't you just NOT cut yourself? Jesus, it would be a revolution in self harm therapy techniques.

Telecaster, this is a very tolerant board, but it has limits. Most of the time you are just a twat, but if you cause trouble for people in pain, you're out.

wtf people are so ignorant. telecast its not that easy to stop, if i could have i would have stopped by now. it gets addicting over a period of time. dont think i havent tried to stop.

and it would be a revelation itsel if U WERENT SO FUCKIN STUPID!

Bane - please don't let Telecaster upset you, if you read his posts you will see hes just a prick posting rubbish.

i cut too and i scratch my wrists too but i know how u feel, it's like an adiction once u start u cant stop and the release feels good after but next time u get pissed off, (my friend told me this) why dont u scream into a pillow, or punch it or instead of putting the knife to yr wrists try it to a pillow, teddy or a piece of clothing u never wear.
i've tried all three and they work.
let me know what u think
and dont mind Telecaster he's being an asshole who knows feck all.... just smile it;s the second best thing u cna do with yr mouth! (i realise that has nothing to do with this but it made me smile ironically! hope it makes u smile too)
chin up xx
